A-109E

Would these help? I took these photos in July 1967 when I was stationed at Ft. Knox.

You can grab the pics here. Be adviced it's 28 Mb:

Let me know when you are done downloading it.
Hope it will help.

I have around 30 pictures I took in Saumur around 10 years ago. Those are film shots I scanned. Let me know if you would like to get a copy.

Garry,
That's quite a site! You have done a very good job in filling in some blanks in my info department, such as the turret roof and storage bin. Did you notice that it has a later cupola?
Thanks again!
Dan

I took several photos, inside and out, on our Panzer III and posted them on the World War II Zone forum here: worldwartwozone.com/fo...ght=panzer

Scroll down and onto the next page. That particular thread has a lot of other Panzer III photos.

Trevor-Thanks!
Garry-That would be interesting to find out if indeed it is a certain manufacturer's mark. It might be that one has seen that many times in a photo but never noticed it.

It's aslo very interesting that it doesn't have a right side (bow MG) side vision flap-I wonder how that is possable?
Thanks,
Dan

I have seen two photos of Panzer IIIs without the side visor on the right side. One is an ausf E and the other was a Tauchpanzer, though it looks like there may be a pistol port in its place on the latter. Why most had them and others didn't, I don't know. Since several firms manufactured Panzer IIIs, it would be interesting to find out if it was a manufacturer's variation.

Ok, I'll get on to it. I should have a couple more general views but it's unlikely I'll have detail shots.

That's just what the Doctor ordered!
I'm looking for photos of the turret roof and cupola(It's not the orginal type that the F had).
If you can upload more that would be great.
